Paul's First Missionary Journey. Recorded in Acts 13: 1 to 13
A:The missionary trips are in Acts of the Apostles only. Paul's own epistles never mention, and actually preclude, the three missionary trips described in the later book.
The Book of Acts. The Coptic Papacy traces its origins to him.
which missionary printed the first 5000 copies of New Testament
Paul received the "Macedonian call" while on his second missionary journey. His first trip to Europe was in response to this call. You can read about when Paul started his second missionary journey in Acts 15:36-41, and when Paul received the "Macedonian call" in Acts 16:6-11, and read about the first convert in Europe in Acts 16:14-15.
AnswerThe apostle Paul never referred to himself as Saul and never suggests that he went on the "first missionary journey" to Cyprus, but Acts of the Apostles gives him that name until the first missionary journey to Cyprus, where he obtained the new name, Paul.If Acts is correct, then Saul and Paul are the same person.
The book of Acts in the New Testament tells the story of Paul and the early church. It describes Paul's conversion, his missionary journeys, and the growth of the early Christian community.
The Island of Cyprus (Acts 13:4-12)
Pauls first mission occurred in A.D. 47. The Book of Acts records this in Acts 13:2-14:28. The earliest of Paul's Epistles, Galations (A.D. 48), 1 and 2 Thess. (A.D. 50), occurred during Paul's second journey.
The three missionary journeys are only a convenient classification developed by students of Acts. In his own epistles, Paul provides no information about the first missionary journey, in fact his own itinerary seems to rule out the possibility of the first missionary journey that is reported in Acts of the Apostles.According to Acts, Paul departed on the journey with Barnabas. they met Bar-Jesus, also known as Elymas, and Sergius Paulus on the island of Paphos. According to Acts, their mission was to the Jews, since Peter had not yet proposed that Gentiles be admitted to the Christian Church. Paul did meet some Gentiles but, apart from Sergius Paulus, was reported to be spectacularly unsuccessful in converting them.
The Book of Acts, also called The Acts of the Apostles, tells the story of the first Christians and the spread of the Church after the Resurrection of Christ. The Book of Acts is one of the books of the Christian Scriptures in the Bible.
While this depends somewhat on how one defines the term missionary, the first Christian that appeared to take on the missionary role was Philip the Evangelist. He was first mentioned in Acts 6:5 in the Bible. However, his missionary travels are described in Acts 8:5-40. He served in the first decades of the church in the 1st century AD.
AnswerThe three journeys in Acts of the Apostles are only a convenient classification developed by students of Acts. In his letters Paul gives no information that supports the historicity of Acts' first missionary journey, and the other two are called into serious doubt by scholars who doubt the historicity of Acts. According to Acts, Paul's imprisonment and miraculous escape occur during the second journey. Paul himself talks of his various travels, but does not group them into any clearly defined missionary journeys, in the style of Acts, which focuses on having Paul return to a location where he can be in communication with his superiors. He does talk of being imprisoned, but it is unclear at what point this occurs. We can not really be sure when he was imprisoned.
